River City Rocker 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Luger-Starrcade 88 The Other Steamboat Match (in 89, not the 94) Flair/Vader Flair/Savage Flair/Perfect Flair/Anderson Flair/Undertaker --- And to think I sat here for five minutes trying to think of who else Flair feuded with, and NONE of those came to mind. Add the Flair-Ricky Morton feud from 1986 to that set, and I'd get it in a New York minute. I'd love to see their first confrontation from the old Saturday night show again. And how about the Horsemen beatdown at the Omni later on? Remember Flair grinding Morton's face into the concrete floor? Put it all on there! Personally, I can't wait to see what they'll do with the Mick Foley DVD. Me too, buddy, me too. -Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 They already announced Foley's dvd set is only 2. Don't forget most of foleys big WWF matches came during the attitude era. So I imagine the dvd will contain a lot of WCW and early WWF footage and highlights of the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 I got it last night and from what I've seen, which is just the full Royal Rumble, it's been great. The tribute from after Raw is pretty cool, although I expected something more. I saw the first fall of the 2/3 Falls match with Ricky Steamboat and it was great. The packaging of the DVD itself is great, I love how it folds out and has classic pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Well, We do know seven matches off the top of our heads that they didn't include Luger-Starrcade 88 The Other Steamboat Match (in 89, not the 94) Flair/Vader Flair/Savage Flair/Perfect Flair/Anderson Flair/Undertaker If there's a sequel, I don't know if they can put out 3 more discs...I can see another 6 Hour disc with them putting those Six Matches (that's about 2 1/2 hours and have the hype for those five matches and show some Late 1990's WCW stuff with Flair having commentary on it complaining about it and chewing Bischoff and Russo about it...and Maybe some more less known WCW Saturday Night footage and have more vintage promos and shit... I really think they should include the last Flair/Steamboat match in 1994 on the Main Event after Flair lost the WCW Title. It was only about 15 minutes, but VERY exciting. Steve Austin also made a run in, making it more 'WWE relevent'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anakin Flair 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Antbody watch his debut match in the WWWF w/ Pete Sanchez? It's got the wierdest commentary on it- dead silence for three minutes, then some spotty call outs from Vince, then he actually starts talking near the end of the match. And in true Vinnie-Mac form, he called a suplex a neckbreaker. Whatamaneuver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in true Vinnie-Mac form, he called a suplex a neckbreaker. Whatamaneuver! I saw it. The match wasn't anything special, but it's a nice extra. It was kinda weird that there wasn't any commentary for the first few minutes. Maybe Vince fell asleep or something. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): The ending kinda took me by surprise. I expected Flair to win, but not with a vertical suplex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cawthon777 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 On the back of the DVD box there is a pic of Flair and UT, I can not find it on the DVD, is it a hidden egg or what? WWF @ Landover, MD - Capital Centre - September 2, 1992 Wrestling Challenge taping: The Undertaker defeated WWF World Champion Ric Flair via disqualification after Mr. Perfect hit the challenger with a chair; after the match, the Undertaker hit the tombstone on Flair That's the match. It took place 1 day after Flair regained the title and was included on CHV's Wrestling's Grudge Matches (93) and an Undertaker tape from the same year (not the crappy 1-hour "He Buries Them Alive..." or the other one from 94 where he faces Crush, Bam Bam, etc). As far as the MSG commentary, I wouldn't attribute it to a bad microphone. Maybe when the Flair match initially aired, it started at the point where Vince began the commentary. Just an idea. Although I'm sure they taped the entire show when at MSG, I know of at least once case where a top match was never televised - Backlund / Race in a rare WWF vs. NWA title match in September 1980. When that card was shown on the MSG Network, they replaced the match with the Hogan / Andre bout from Shea Stadium which took place the month prior. So of course, if they still have Backlund / Race in the vault somewhere, I assume that match would have no commentary at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fro 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Luger-Starrcade 88 The Other Steamboat Match (in 89, not the 94) Flair/Vader Flair/Savage Flair/Perfect Flair/Anderson Flair/Undertaker Screw Flair/Taker. The rest is a good start. Flair's got enough material for at least 2 more 3-disc DVDs. Off the top of my head, Flair/Benoit from WCW, Flair v.s. Bret from WWF (if they've got an Ironman match in the vault somewhere, great, if not they have one with "Real World's CHamp" Flair v.s. IC Champ Bret), Flair v.s. HBK from this year, Flair/HBK v.s. Bret/Savage. Also Flair/Hogan from Nitro when Flair finally pins Hogan just for kicks. You have to have the Flair return to Nitro in Greensboro on the next set as well. Also a lot more vintage 4 Horsemen stuff.... throw a Wargames match on there. That's not even counting all the tag matches, older footage, etc. The well is really far from being run dry when you're talking about Ric Flair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest drdrainoscott Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Who would have ever thought that the day would come where we are praying that Vince keeps on duplicating his successes? I am almost positive we will get another set for Flair due to the success of this one. Although knowing WWE, they will probably decide that they don't want to test their luck and possibly burn out Flair, so they will stop while they are ahead.

Indeed, there is so much awesome in Flair's career that I honestly believe they could release TWO more 3 DVD sets packed with material. Besides everything already mentioned what about all his classic matches with Sting? He had a bunch of matches with Luger that were really excellent. Chi Town Rumble and even his Spring Stampede 94 match with Steamboat are must sees. And in the WCW era he had some excellent matches with Randy Savage and a classic cage match with Hogan. The Eric Bischoff feud and match on Nitro where he won ownership (the place just exploded for that). Of course that leads to all of his classic segments as president with Charles Robinson and Arn Anderson in his administration. And then his commitment to a mental home. And of course they must include the entire Horsemen reformation from 98, still the greatest moment in wrestling I have ever seen. Hell, the match with his son from 2000 for novelty's sake. And this is all just mostly recent stuff, Im sure theres tons of stuff from the early and mid 80s that could be released too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FLAIR: WHOO! A LOTTERY BABY! IT'S GONNA BE THE GREATEST! AA: OK... FLAIR: WHOO! (STARTS STRUTING AND RUNNING) HEY! CRUISERWEIGHTS! LOTSA CRUISERWEIGHTS! Then Later....About 25 CW's and Jobbers and I believe random college kids are all in a circle around the ring and the pool... Of course Flair and Arn walk across the bridge as Flair dances. Arn and Ric take the ring... Ric: WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOTTERY! ARN DRAW A NUMBER! Arn: All right. *He draws* Flair: WHOO! WHO IS IT! TELL ME! WHO IS IT! WHOO! Anderson: #??? *silence* Flair: C'mon son! It's the one and only chance to face the man WHOO! YOU CAN TELL YOUR KIDS ABOUT IT! *Music Plays* Flair and Arn are confused... Mysterio strolls out to the ring...with a Grin... FLAIR: WHAT? NO! NO! NO! HE WAS NOT IN THE LOTTERY! ABSOLUTLY NOT! NOT GONNA HAPPEN! ARN DRAW ANOTHER NUMBER!
